Yeah, that’s right. I was only thinking of live-action.
'The Batman' is right at 85% on RT

so are we looking at $35M over the 5-day for TMNT?

Ninja Turtles was really good. We laughed, we got emotional at parts. I really liked the animation style. I hope it does well.

Well, there's dating and there's actually filming them. At one point there was one that was supposed to come out this year.
Shareholders like predictability, but they're not necessarily obligated to move forward with it.
Shareholders... don't like anything about Disney right now lol.

I don't care if The Marvels bombs. The whole MCU needs a reset of some kind. This is the point in the discussion where a lot of people still say "but the numbers are fine! they are still good!" Not really.. GOTG Vol. 3 made a lot of money. Why? Because it was the MCU of old. It was a more personal movie with smaller stakes (for the world, not the team) and that resonated with people. They've had way more misses than hits recently including the TV series.
Secret Invasion was an embarrassment.

People seem to forget they have other revenue streams aside from films, the cruise lines are doing so well, they're commissioning more ships as well as the parks which generate lots as well.
Honestly, they've been through worse.
The parks are doing terribly. There's articles everywhere citing why they are so empty.

People are seeing this movie because its Barbie, not because its a Greta Gerwig movie.
It's both. They might not know the name of the director, but they've heard the movie is good.

Local theater was packed tonight. Again just one theater but I saw tons of older skewing people looked to be going for Oppenheimer and of course lots of ladies in pink

Fascinating stuff. Warner Bros. is still the best when they want to be.
Selling ‘Barbie’: Inside the Marketing Phenomenon - The Ringer
Edit: I should note here that Warner Bros. Studio absolutely took on the bulk of the marketing campaign. They explain it here. Mattel added some things of course but it was nearly all the studio's marketing division.

So glad we have Barbie and Oppenheimer victories to celebrate at the box office right now. Without them this July would have been a big yikes in multiple respects.
Whole Summer pretty much sucked until this past weekend.
Let's hope for $24M for Barbie and $11M for Oppenheimer

What's the tracking on haunted mansion?
A bomb that Nolan would be proud of,

Call me a Disney apologist if you like but why is it a problem for them to be "petty?" WB has pulled *a lot* of shenanigans over the years. Haven't people been talking about how they were being petty towards Nolan? What they did with the Batgirl movie still seems very bizarre. I get it that it's a lot more fun to dunk on Disney than WB but all these big studios are ran by the same kind of people.
Disney, right now, is making atrocious movies. Let the windmills and tomahawks fly. They need to be better.

I'm pretty sure if Zaslav had the Wednesday numbers already he'd hand deliver them to us. He wants this positive press. He's probably got on pink boxer briefs.

A little news from my local. Tonight's Barbie large format is sold out. Tonight's Oppenheimer IMAX is sold out. The late showings still have some seating available.
Tomorrow: Barbie large format is sold out. Oppenheimer IMAX early evening is sold out. Still some seats available for the late night.
So what does this mean? It's only one theater but again I have never really seen tickets sell like this outside of 'Endgame' or 'The Force Awakens'

Not sure why Gitesh expected a bump on Tuesday after a soft drop on Sunday and massive Monday. I'm confused.

Even more impressive. They maintained and build interest for 20+ films, when others cant even do for 7-8.
Potter had lost 30-35% admits from first part till last. Avatar is 30% down in 2nd part itself, could be down to less than half by the time 5th come.That's not how comic book arcs work really, though. When you introduce a big bad and a shiny toy (in this case the infinity gauntlet) people are waiting to see that come to fruition. Feige built this like a comic book story with a beginning, middle and end and the accompanying movies acted as little side stories like you'd see in any comic book crossover event.
It was a one of kind idea for sure and credit to them for pulling it off but that's why the interest was maintained because the elements that were introduced early on weren't yet on the playing field.
Avatar came in as a brand new IP. It didn't have decades of lore behind it like Iron Man, Cap, The Avengers and Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet which was a highly successful crossover event when comic books were still a thing. Avatar didn't have all of the cartoons and video games and posters and trading cards and everything else behind it. It was just a new IP.
Adjusted for inflation it has to be well over $3 billion at the box office. Insanity.

Titanic > Avatar IMO
Titanic was #1 for 77 days in a row, that fact just boggles my mind. It's highest grossing day was on day FIFTY-EIGHT. It doubled the previous worldwide record and in a world when no movie had ever hit a billion it almost skipped straight to 2 billion in one go. It had something like nearly double Avatar and Endgame's admissions domestically, which relied on PLFs to bump up their gross. Adjusted for inflation its first ten weekend all grossed $40m. The list goes on and on...
What would Titanic worldwide box office be adjusted for inflation? Obviously that would take quite a bit of work to figure out with each country and their exchange rates I suppose..

Avatar is the most impressive run. 'Endgame' had 11 films of buildup or whatever it was. 20 films. I don't know. Avatar was a brand new IP and it didn't have a crazy opening weekend either. It just got bigger and bigger..

I think the Monday numbers just blew my mind more than the weekend numbers Lol

Great numbers for both. You want to talk about something that's front loaded, let's talk about this thread. A steep decline from Thursday/Friday.

Space Ghost!
In all seriousness though, The Legend of Zelda, which Illumination is supposedly working on.
Yeah, I don't remember if they confirmed it or not but it was definitely heavily rumored. That could be live action or animated but sounds like they are going animated.

There's a such thing as "goodwill" for some critics. It's not really fair necessarily but people are human. We've seen it with certain franchises. When MCU was hitting some home runs there were critics who were judging the MCU more as a collective than each individual movie. When they hit their stride everything, even movies that you look back at now and think wow that was mid or even bad were getting high grades or passing grades etc.
Same thing with Star Wars. There's no question The Last Jedi was a very mixed and divisive movie but you wouldn't think that looking at the RT score with critics.
Same thing with the Fast series. There were a lot of Fast movies that got the benefit of the doubt because they were "supposed" to be wild and crazy. Then people got tired of it.
